Sunderland 08/09 Home shirt

sunderland a.f.c have revealed their new home kit for next season to the subscribers of the clubs official e-mail bulletin, and here it is;

the home shirt is traditional Sunderland colours or vertical red and white stripes, with black shorts and red socks. The collar has a v-neck with a black insert and black bands around both shoulders. the club logo is on the left of the chest when worn and the makers logo, Umbro, is on the top right of the chest when worn. the sponsors name and logo , Boylesports, is across the centre of the chest.

Ugly! Why can’t the Umbro logo be in the same hight as the Sunderland logo? It would look 5 million times better man!

James:

ash:

dave:

i reckon that these designs will also be the new saints ones as umbro make most of there kits the same

Kristy Langford:

who is the big fat lard in the top pic? he cannot be a footballer surely? looks like he likes a few pies

D King:

So Sunderland have now reverted to yearly changes. So in the top flight it is just Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle and Reading on a two year rotate. Shameful.

D King:

I think the reason for the higher makers logo is to make it harder for pictures of players to cut out the logo. In sticker albums etc the shoulders tend to appear, but the chest doesn’t. Nike and Umbro and in this position and Adidas below the neckline. At least it reduces the risk of nipple rush.

Gervillian Swike:

No, I think Manchester United are on a one-year rotate now too.

Alistair Gers fan:

No, Man u home kit is for 2007/2009. Away is 07/08

McB:

yeah Man U are on a 2 year rotate system for home shirts and 1 year for the Away and keepers shirts

Dave:

Well said D King, only the big clubs 2 year rotate. Sunderland are going down next season with this awful kit.

Plastic Mackem from Watford:

It’s hardly a drastic change, but then there’s not a lot you can really do with red and white stripes, is there?

Anyhow, the lads will be staying up for the next couple of seasons, you’ll see…

Bit of luck, might even have Harry Kewell signing the dotted line too.

simpleton:

In response to the question over the positioning of the Umbro logo – I believe that Umbro place their badges higher up on the shirt, so that in facial/shoulder shots of the players hown in newspapers, websites etcetera, their logo and brand is still visible – subliminal advertising at its best!

Decent kit but don’t like the black stripe on the shoulder and the red socks.

CW:

Why a new kit already? What happened to changing home kits every 2 years? Looks not bad although the current one looks better. Socks would be better if black.

brad:

looks nothing like away kit

Ian:

Reading’s away kits have been on a one year rotate only the home has stayed for two years

we are the geordies, the geordie boot boys
and we are mental and we are mad,
and we’re the loyalist football supporters ,
the world has ever had screw all you mackems and smoggys ( sunderland and middlesborough)

Richy Ball:

well i say i tink it is ok but the new third kit is better but “COME ON SUNDERLAND”

Le God:

Umbro have deals with nearly all the clubs who they produce for that the kit is on a one year cycle, this is purely down to keeping their finger on the pulse of fashion! (What a load of bullshit, it’s nothing less than them trying to shaft every last penny out of the average footie fan who loves there club!) Saints today have released the details of the new kit “UMBRO” have done it again this kit looks exactly the same as everyone expected it to, yes you’ve guessed it as the pics above with a slight tweak! WELL DONE DESIGNERS @ UMBRO ON FUCKING UP ANOTHER CLUBS KIT!!!!!

jonathon:

it’s the same as the last home shirt apart from the black running bar.

norm:

it’s ok but southampton will have the same design as they have switch to umbro for next 5 years
